TINY BUDDHA _ ARTICLE WRITING GUIDELINES:
WRITING GUIDELINES
Include a quote at the top of your post. You can find one in the Tiny Buddha quote archives here, but you’re not limited to these choices. If you choose to include a quote from elsewhere, please avoid song lyrics and quotes from pop culture.
Aim for a word count between 1,000 and 2,000 words.
Share a specific story from your life, with intimate detail. It’s important to share your lessons and insights, but the post will be far more powerful if you also share how you came to learn them.
Offer insights and practical tips to help readers overcome similar challenges. It doesn’t need to be a numbered list, but the story needs to build to a clear message/lesson for readers, something that might evoke an “A ha” moment for them.
Choose a topic related to personal growth that isn’t gender-specific, and not related to parenting, religion, the law of attraction, productivity, blogging/running an online business, writing/publishing a book, coaching, being or becoming a psychiatrist or therapist, working as a motivational speaker, or money/entrepreneurship.
Avoid referencing your blog, coaching practice, book, or speaking career in the body of the post. You may work in the personal development or mental health fields, but your post should be more about your shared humanity.
Provide original, personal, and honest work. Original means your post has never before been published anywhere, including your own blog, and does not include any sections taken from a previously published post.
Keep paragraphs to three sentences or fewer. Include a bio, seventy-five words or fewer, at the bottom of the post. You can include as many links as you’d like.
Reserve self-promotion to your bio (as opposed to marketing a business, course, workshop, or service directly in the post). Please note that links in the body of the post may be removed.
